Delaware was one of the original thirteen colonies, authorizing the Constitution as the first state. Delaware held a small number of slaves at the onset of the Civil War, militia units with southern sympathies were disbanded, and the slaves freed. Delaware symbolism incorporates symbols of agriculture, and a rifleman.
